In the case of Board of Education v. Earls (2002), the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a school district's policy requiring students involved in extracurricular activities to submit to random drug testing. The majority opinion, delivered by Justice Clarence Thomas, stated that the policy served the legitimate interest of preventing drug use among students and was a reasonable means of achieving that goal. The Court emphasized that the government's interest in protecting the health and safety of students outweighed the limited intrusion on students' privacy rights.
